Joya Sherrill - Little Bo Peep

Sherrill began with Duke Ellington in July 1942 when she was seventeen. After a period at Wilberforce University, she rejoined in 1944 and remained with Ellington until 1946 when she left to marry Richard Guilmenot. Ellington considered her one of his favorite singers.
